A TREATISE ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF 



MEDICINE ; designed for the use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine. Fourth 

 edition, revised and enlarged. In one large and closely printed octavo volume of about 1 100 

 pages; cloth, $6 00 ; or strongly bound in leather, with raised bands, $7 00. (.Just Issued.) 

 By common consent of the English and American medical press, this work has been assigned 

 to the highest position as a complete and compendious text-book on the most advanced condition 

 of medical science. At the very moderate price at which it is offered it will be found one of the 

 cheapest volumes now before the profession. A few notices of previous editions are subjoined. 



Admirable and unequalled. Western Journal of 

 Medicine, Nov. 1869. 



Dr. Flint's work, though claiming no higher title 

 than that of a text-book, is really more. He is a man 

 of large clinical experience, and his book is fnll of 

 such masterly descriptions of disease as can only be 

 drawn by a man intimately acquainted with their 

 various forms. It is not so long since we had the 

 pleasure of reviewing his first edition, and we recog- 

 nize a great improvement, especially in the general 

 part of the work. It is a work which we can cordially 

 recommend to our readers as fully abreast of the sci- 

 ence of the day. Edinburgh Me.d. Journal, Oct. '69. 



One of the best works of the kind for the practi- 

 tioner, and the most convenient of all for the student. 

 Am. Journ. Med. Sciences, Jan. 1869. 



This work, which stands pre-eminently as the ad- 

 vance standard of medical science up to the present 

 time in the practice of medicine, has for its author 

 one who is well and widely known as one of the 

 leading practitioners of this continent. In fact, it is 

 eldora that any work is ever issued from the press 

 more deserving of universal recommendation. Do- 

 minion Med. Journal, May, 1869. 



The third edition of this most excellent book scarce- 

 ly needs any commendation from us. The volume, 

 as it stands now, is really a marvel : first of all, it is 



sxcellently printed and bound and we encounter 

 that luxury of America, the ready-cut pages, which 

 the Yankees are 'cute enough to insist upon nor are 

 these by any means trifles ; but the contents of the 

 book are astonishing. Not only is it wonderful that 

 iny one man can have grasped in his mind the whole 

 scope of medicine with that vigor which Dr. Flint 

 shows, but the condensed yet clear way in which 

 this is done is a perfect literary triumph. Dr. Flint 

 is pre-eminently one of the strong men, whose right 

 to do this kind of thing is well admitted ; and we say 

 10 more than the truth when we affirm that he is 

 very nearly the only living man that could do it with 

 mch results as the volume before us. The London 

 Practitioner, March, 1869. 



This is in some respects the best text-book of medi- 

 cine in our language, and it is highly appreciated on 

 the other side of the Atlantic, inasmuch as the first, 

 edition was exhausted in a few months. The second 

 sdition was little more than a reprint, but the present 

 has, as the author says, been thoroughly revised. 

 Much valuable matter has been added, and by mak- 

 ing the type smaller, the bulk of the volume is not 

 much increased. The weak point in many American 

 works is pathology, but Dr. Flint has taken peculiar 

 pains on this point, greatly to the value of the book.

It is a subject for congratulation and for thankful- 

 ness that Sir Thomas Watson, during a period of com- 

 parative leisure, after a long, laborious, and most 

 honorable professional" career, while retaining full 

 possession of his high mental faculties, should have 

 employed the opportunity to submit his Lectures to 

 a more thorough revision than was possible during 

 the earlier and busier period of his life. Carefully 

 passing in review some of the most intricate and im- 

 portant pathological and practical questions, there- 

 suits of his clear insight and his calm judgment are 

 now recorded for the benefit of mankind, in language 

 which, for precision, vigor, and classical elegance, has 

 rarely been equalled, and never surpassed The re- 

 vision has evidently been most carefully done, and 

 the results appear in almost every page. Brit. Med. 

 Journ., Oct. 14, 1871. 



The lectures are so well known and so justly 

 appreciated, that it is scarcely necessary to do 

 more than call attention to the special advantages 

 of the last over previous editions. The author's 



rare combination of great scientific attainments com- 

 bined with wonderful forensic eloquence has exerted 

 extraordinary influence over the last two generations 

 of physicians. His clinical descriptions of most dis- 

 eases have never been equalled ; and on this score 

 at least his work will live long in the future. The 

 work will be sought by all who appreciate a great 

 book. Amer. Journ. of Syphilography, July, 1872. 

 We are exceedingly gratified at the reception of 

 this new edition of Watson, pre-eminently the prince 

 of English authors, on "Practice." We, who read 

 the first edition shall never forget the great pleasure 

 and profit we derived from its graphic delineations 

 of disease, its vigorous style and splendid English. 

 Maturity of years, extensive observation, profound 

 research, and yet continuous enthusiasm, have com- 

 bined to give us in this latest edition a model of pro- 

 fessional excellence in teaching with rare beauty in 

 the mode of communication. But this classic needs 

 no eulogium of ours. Chicago Med. Journ., July, 

 1872.
